Regen Projects and kurimanzutto have come together to compile another impressive exhibition at the formers highly coveted gallery. Entitled Distant Star / Estrella Distante, the exhibition is based on the writings of Chilean born writer Roberto Bolaño (b. 1953 – d. 2003).
...
Among others, the exhibition will include Carla Rippey, who supplied the cover artwork for Bolaño’s first published book and was a great friend of his in Mexico City when he lived there in the early 70s; Patti Smith ... went to his home in Blanes, Spain, seeking to photograph one object, which ended up being his writing chair; Abraham Cruzvillegas whose work La Barbie roughly references the murders in Sonora as depicted in 2666; Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari’s film Tomorrow Everything Will Be Alright is a typewritten love story, referencing Eric Rohmer’s Le Rayon Vert, as so much in Bolaño’s work references the vast canon of literature that came before it.
